The war has commenced! Thousands of troops, hundreds of cannons muster into the barracks of half the continent in order to fight in one of the largest conflicts that has plagued Astralis! A total of three coalitions face themselves for supremacy over the continent, it's a war about dominance, about hate, race, hegemony. The generals are both impatient to fight and have no will to do so. This war is going to shape the future of the region as we know it, whether it's the humans that win, or the rabbitfolk. The styles of warfare are different, the armies fighting each other are also, but i'm going to have a shitton of fun making a bunch of people die! Now, without further ado, let us begin the Great War

genoveffo_the_second06/30/24

The URSA Front
We'll begin in the best manner possible with a very nice delay! The troops sent to reinforce their comrades up to rosto suffered a large delay due to quite literally running into a pocket of the slave revolt. Despite the willingness to just move on, they were forced to engage. The battle lasted no less than half a day due to the necessity to sweep the terrain in order to both appease the population and make sure no other incursions would happen in their rear lines. This caused the troops to miss a battle, which we'll talk about later. The troops nonetheless arrive, but they arrive late.

The second part of the URSA front would see very bitter fighting in the south, with the army sent to quell the slave rebellion being able to more or less clear two pockets, but not without a considerable number of losses. In a large city that was enveloped by the revolt, an event from then on known as the "5 Days of ---- (you name it)", was also referred to as the bloodiest day of the campaign, when the URSA troops entered the city to announce its liberation, they were ambushed and forced to sweep every single building until the rebels were finally all executed. Three large pockets remain due to the time it took to quell the first two.

Lastly, reports would come from the North that a Nayltene force of pure cavalry was ravaging the terrain, raiding and killing and pillaging the local population, but nothing could be done as patrols would either not come back from their routes or simply would not spot the force.

Casualties:
-Slaves:
5,671 to 7,833 (100% Dead)
-URSA troops:
1,536 to 2,311 (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
Stats:
-The local population is relieved that the'yre finally saved from the brutes frfr, but they're scared shitless about rabbit horsemen.
-The slaves are even more eager to fight due to the nature of this conflict, but they're starting to demoralize.
*-The troops are demoralized due to very high casualties, but are also eager to fight to drive the rebels and enemies out. 2% of all troops (engaged, including the wounded) have gained experience in urban warfare

genoveffo_the_second06/30/24

Astrostan-Dachaustan
There is not much to say about this, the Dachaustan border gendarmerie was simply squashed by the sheer number of Astrostan troops massed against them, despite the Astrostan generals literally adopting a tactic that won't exist for 90 years there was simply no one to stop them, nonetheless, Dachau troops fought valiantly. Several cities were captured but nothing exceptional as the troops decided to stop (it was probably due to the fact that supplies were through the floor)

Casualties:
-Dachaustan
371 soldiers (45% dead, 55% wounded)
1,321 civilians (60% dead, 40% wounded)
-Astrostan
1,532 soldiers (10% dead, 90% wounded)
Stats:
-Local Dachau population very scared to fucking die (duh)
-Dachau troops eager to keep fighting to defend their homeland, except there's no troops - 25% of all troops engaged gain experience in long range skirmishing and harassing
-Astrostan troops eager to keep pushing due to several (minor as shit) victories, wary of casualties

genoveffo_the_second06/30/24

Naylte front
Possibly the bloodiest front of the war, it would be the one to see two of the larger battles that happened so far...slight problem is that that's only half of the moves done in this area (yes half of the armies simply went around and did shit without consequence, THIS IS WHY YOU DO RECON).
TYSK V NAYLTE The forces of the Kingdom of Tysk would advance deep into enemy territory in a way that can only be described as bloodthristy, due to their aggressive nature, they stole from the land and burned buildings down until they met a force of Naylte troops. Due to the high number of cavalry of both armies, and both Generals acting in an aggressive manner, the troops clashed at early noon on a flat field. The troops fought valiantly on both sides, but the shock cavalry of naylte was simply too much and too numerous for Tysk troops to handle, forcing them on a route back to the territory they came from, but not without heavy harassment from the skirmisher cavalry of the same army which were kept in the rearlines in order to have them be fresh pursuing troops. This was a major loss for Tysk, simply due to the fact that they were heavily outnumbered and outmatched.

Casualties:
-Tysk
1,500 Infantry (55% Dead, 45% Wounded)
4,931 Light Cavalry (60% Dead, 40% Wounded)
6 Cannons (Captured)
-Naylte
3,747 Medium Cavalry (40% Dead, 60% Wounded)
571 Light Cavalry (10% Dead, 90% Wounded)
2,753 Civilians (65% Dead, 35% Wounded)
Stats
-Local population relieved to have been rescued, still sad about fucking dying ig, but some are still being fucked by Dachau troops to the east.
-Tysk morale crushed, the troops of that single army gained almost no experience due to it being a decisive defeat, the troops currently mustering are scared.
-Naylte morale enhanced, almost all regimental banners of the enemy were captured, 5% of the light cavalry are experienced in pursuing, 5% of the medium cavalry are experienced in prolongued melee

genoveffo_the_second06/30/24

NAYLTE V URSA Now this would probably qualify as the largest battle of the Whole war so far, with two large forces contending for the mountain passes which would allow each nation respectively to push far into the other and possibly gain the upper hand. The Naylte troops took a cautious approach and were smaller in general, thus having the advantage of concealment for far longer than the URSA, being able to spot them without being spotted. This allowed them to notice the disparity in size, thus deciding to fight on the defensive and attempting to conceal part of their forces in the nearby forests. Once the battle commenced, the only thing visible to the URSA general was a meager line of no more than 10,000 infantrymen, and roughly the same amount of cannons as themselves. The General simply decided to engagé the force with his own infantry corps, numbering just about double what the Nayltene troops mustered. Clearly, the concealed troops were not noticed and launched an advance on the sides of the formation, with the Nayltene shock cavalry intercepting the URSA cavalry reinforcing the line, allowing for the rest of the ambush troops to engagé the enemy infantry in a combined effort. This though, did not stop the Nayltene centre to break under the massive pressure of a vastly larger force, and, even though the concealed troops were beginning to drive the enemy back, a general retreat was ordered so that the Whole army wouldn't collapse. The retreat was successful and orderly, formally giving URSA a strategical victory, but not clearing the Nayltene forces from the scene. Repeated harassment from light cavalry troops of Naylte also stopped any attempt of pursuing from happening.

3,813 Infantry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)

genoveffo_the_second06/30/24

Rosto front
And finally, one more battle. The one you've actually been waiting for since the beginning of the post (if you're a certain lad called URSA), without the massive reinforcement available, and only part of the troops from the defence being sent to reinforce the assault, the Rosto army actually managed to match the URSA in Numbers. The outcome would then be decided based on the witts of the generals and the skill they could display. The battle began in the early Morning this time, with a Rus force marching on the offensive being semi caught by surprise after receiving reports of an URSA army marching from the west. For that reason, the army decided to re-route and meet that other force in battle, which managed to inform the defenders of the issue and be promptly sent some reinforcements in order to ensure a victory. The armies met not many hour later, with the light infantry of both sides opening volleys against each other. At that moment, the Rus outnumbered the URSA force by many troops, cavalry and cannons, and thus took on the initiative and began advancing with the main troops. The battle was fiercely fought as Always, with the URSA's retreat only being delayed by incoming reinforcements, which entered mid-battle, but were too tired to conduct any significant counteroffensive, being driven back by the Rus reserves which were aware of another force coming. Nonetheless, the URSA army managed to retreat cohesively back to their original stance, only losing some foot artillery in the process. The Rus cavalry was able to harass them in a light manner all the way to the border, but did not dare launch an offensive of their own due to the troops being tired. The battle is a victory for the Rus coalition, but not a significant one as more troops are being funneled over by the URSA.

genoveffo_the_second06/30/24

Casualties:
-URSA
3,831 Infantry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
1,032 Cavalry (25% Dead, 75% Wounded)
6 Foot Artillery pieces (Captured)
-Rus
4,201 Infantry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
733 Cavalry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
Stats:
-Ursa troops demoralized for the loss, eager to counterattack, especially with new reinforcements coming. 5% of the Infantry (wounded included) is able to fight for longer amounts of time
-Rus troops happy for the victory, cautious and wary of their surroundings, worried more enemies might come. 5% of the Infantry (wounded included) is more skilled on the offensive.

genoveffo_the_second06/30/24

That's it, the first war move concludes here. There have been glorious battles, some victories, some defeats but nobody is collapsing yet, not even close, you'll have to do much more than this to earn some rest for your economies. So far the URSA alliance is slightly on the backfoot simply due to the fact that a massive slave revolt is still taking place and that's not good, but effort is being put on that to turn the tide, so it might end relatively well depending on what happens next. I've been fairly nice to all sides as it's both my first time gming this and your first time dealing with me, but no more frontlines, start doing recon and most of all dont be impatient little fucks because i've been the one waiting for longer (talking to Astrostan here cuh.)

NOW, for some technical results.
-70% OF ALL THE WOUNDED FORCES WILL RETURN IN 2 TURNS, AKA 2 MONTHS, THE REMAINING 25% WILL RETURN IN 4, 5% IS FOREVER CRIPPLED.
-ALL MUSTERING ARMIES BELOW 20,000 MEN WILL BE ABLE TO BE UTILIZED NEXT MOVE, ALL THOSE EQUAL OR ABOVE WILL BE ABLE TO BE UTILIZED IN 2 MOVES. THE SIZE OF THE ARMIES YOU'RE ABLE TO MUSTER DOUBLES IN 2 MOVES, AS THE LOGISTICAL CORPS BEGIN DOING THEIR JOB.

little addendum, several Astrostan vessels have been reported bombarding the southern coastal cities & ports of URSA, causing little damage due to the temporary and swift nature of their attacks, the local population of the URSA is still not exactly pleased to find a canonball in their living room at 5 in the afternoon.

URSA-ASTROSTAN FRONT

It seems that on this front a sort of leakage has happened, perhaps gas, because never have I seen generals so incompetent in my life. On one hand, you have the URSA, whose lands are burning in a slave revolt which decides, in an act of spite, to...do a complete 180 and invade the lands of Astrostan. Then we have Astrostan, who, in an act of complete courage and defiance...does not do anything about it. The armies of Astrostan remain cozy behind their self-made barricades and trenches, hoping to be on the defending side completely unaware of the fact that any conflict would break them. The URSA troops, in the meantime, are ravaging the north-eastern lands and burning and killing anything that moves. I guess there's no victor in this, there was no engagement to begin with, the only losses are civilians, but come on...

Casualties:
-Astrostan
2,781 Civilians (70% Dead, 30% Wounded)
-URSA
1 Soldier (Dead, a wooden beam fell on him)

Stats:
-Astrostan civilians are scared shitless but also outraged at the government for just leaving them there, the Whole region really doesn't like this. +1 Militancy in the region
-Astrostan troops are starting to understand that their leader is a massive moron, +1 distrust in the Whole defending army
-URSA troops are having a blast, killing people is fun except for poor Kirsten
-URSA civilians gain +3 militancy because the army literally left them to die against slaves, not cool. Goes on like this and they might just rebel alongside the rebels...

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

ASTROSTAN-DACHAUSTAN

Leaving out the fact that one of these nations is named after a concentration camp, we finally get the first "fuck it i'm out" nation of the war!! Considering 80,000 troops were in their nation alone, plus the fact that they had literally 0 soldiers Fighting inland, or no real force that could even withstand such an attack, Dachaustan sends a couple brave boys with white flags up to the Astrostan general and they sue for peace! Amazing! Now yes they've surrendered, but you won't be able to demand things until the Whole war is ended, so calm your horses.

Casualties:
-Dachau
Their dignity

Stats:
-Astrostan troops are ecstatic, like the autists that spam "ez" after winning a match, while they're the guys with the less kills
-Dachau civs are very sad, like the guys that need to deal with those autists without seeming like crybabies that take games too seriously

Minor irrelevant shit
The Margravate pushes into Woraftia and they sort of occupy one area, If their capital is captured, then another nation will be peacing out
Woraftia and Kaninord push further into Naylte, threatening the capital. Might cause problems NOW!!!
The deer states manage to make a connection with two slave pockets whose rebels agree to join the standing armies in Exchange for equipment and training, they manage to ravage some of the land in the meanwhile!!! (+9000 slave soldiers or smth, the territory they occupied is now under your control)

Now back to the actual shit.

NAYLTE V DACHAUSTAN
The city of Vleflain would be the protagonist of this front, while the forces of Dachaustan went to attack it, they were not aware that their country was in the process of surrendering, and thus captured the city, which was undefended at the time, without too much hassle. It was then that the Nayltene force that ravaged the lines of Tysk appeared over the Horizon, in perfect Nayltene fashion, they did not do one ounce of recon and were thus unaware of what had happened, marching forwards due to knowing there was an enemy force somewhere, and hoping they'd end up meeting it in battle. As the Dachau troops noticed the vast army approaching the town, they were scared shitless! They were outnumbered by two to one, if not more, so they decided to set up inside the town, which was still unfortified, by abandoning everything that wouldn't have helped, especially horses. They set up in houses ready to take potshots at the incoming forces, the battle would've been a hard effort for both sides, but the Dachau troops had much more at stake, the risk of having their Whole force annihilated. The Nayltene troops were just about to enter the town triumphantly before the first volleys opened against them, coming from many windows at once, killing many officers in a single moment. The quickest thing they could do was scatter, the Nayltene forces retreated outside of range and began making works to surround the city, moving their cavalry forces around the sides as it was far quicker than simply Walking. There were no fortifications if not some puny earthwork and massed furniture, which was quickly disposed off by the artillery, which also made the enemy guns in several houses silent.

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

The Nayltene troops began storming the entrances of the town, Fighting broke out for every house, Dachau snipers on top of roof firing and chucking rocks down into the Nayltene formations, which shot back as much as possible, running into the alleyways and stabbing enemies that were hiding. It was an extremely bloody battle and the Nayltene troops definitely came out of it thinned, but the city was conquered and the Whole Dachau forces laid dead. Not a single man was captured, their way of Fighting was dishonest and dishonorable and as such they could not be forgiven. Once messengers arrived to inform the Dachau general to retreat as they had surrendered, they found nobody.

Casualties:
-Naylte
5,673 Infantry (40% Dead, 60% Wounded)
6,897 (Dismounted) Cavalry (50% Dead, 50% Wounded)
3,981 Civilians (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
-Dachaustan
4,000 Infantry (100% Dead)
4,500 Cavalry (100% Dead)
12 Cannons (Captured)

Stats:
-The Naylte forces managed to extinguish their rage on the prisoners, they're happy about their victory, but preoccupied about the heavy losses. 10% of the Whole force is now experienced in Urban combat, alongside their general staff and officer corps being now adapted at Fighting in claustrophobic terrains.
-The civilians are relieved, they were saved, despite also suffering casualties from friendly fire. The lower Death rate of Civs is because the troops were able to help them heal.

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

NAYLTE V URSA
(Now before you hate me, I was conflicted here and rolled, this is the result.), The battered forces of Naylte, which still managed to retreat in an organized manner and set up their defences in a favourable terrain are now facing off another attack from the URSA, the battle before was lengthy and costly, but that didn't stop the URSA from charging again at the lines of the enemies in hopes of achieving a breakthrough. The URSA outnumbered the Nayltene infantry two to one, while Naylte outnumbered their cavalry two to one too. Considering the defences, the URSA general decided to attack in two waves, with the intent of weakening the enemy before making a final, crushing push. The artillery opened but had no way of doing severe damage due to the nature of the defences, hidden away below the dirt, the troops felt safe as no explosive shots were utilized. Once the pathetically inefficient volley ended, the URSA troops advanced and it was the turn of the Nayltene artillery to open fire, which it did, and efficiently so. With the guns being protected by earthly and wooden barbettes, they fired, fired and fired without being able to be hit, as the infantry desperately tried to disable them with volleys. Safe to say the first wave broke, and retreated, but not without large casualties. Unfortunately for Naylte, their guns, like the enemy's, stopped singing, munitions were scarce, but a result as such was more than enough for them. Having their cavalry dismounted and in the trenches with them, they now outnumbered the incoming second wave, which was engaged by several thousands of shots which couldn't be countered, prompting them to retreat as well. An unexpected defeat fell on the URSA, the nayltene troops, which were on the backfoot, managed to completely repell the enemy assault in a feat deserving of the most legendary tales...

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

Casualties:
-URSA
5,321 Infantry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
5 Cannons (Destroyed and not retreived)
-Naylte
475 Infantry (20% Dead, 80% Wounded)
213 Dismounted Cavalry (20% Dead, 80% Wounded)

Stats:
-Naylte army now eager to fight again, their honour being restored, they're still bleeding, but not on the backfoot anymore, and there's now time to rest and recover the troops.
-URSA morale completely crushed, this was the largest defeat they suffered yet, and against an outnumbered foe. They are now on the backfoot, but they refuse to pull back, as it would cost them their honour.

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

POREIDA V NEMETS
The first Poreidan army, the strongest of two twin forces, continues their push towards the north-eastern lakes in order to cut off Nemets from the URSA, the army is fairly calm yet cautious, they haven't met enemy forces yet so something feels like they should worry, and they were right. As another day went by, and Morning began, the Poreidan commander is roughly woken up by an adjutant, an enemy force was spotted no less than rushing towards their camp. It would take them only a couple of hours to reach the encampment and the army needed to be prepared immediately...so it was. The troops did not waste a moment, they didn't wear their overcoats nor did they finish their breakfast, stuffing their mouths with whatever was in their bowls, eggs, bread, water, and then rifle on the shoulder and in line. What the Poreidans did not know was that the force they were about to fight was soundly outnumbered by them, and they had no cavalry. Though by some sort of unlucky feat, the artillery would not be able to be utilized for hours as the ammunition was too humid to be utilized. The battle nonetheless started, the Poreidan troops still at a large advantage, while their infantry battered the Nemets lines, which held up surprisingly well despite being two thousand troops smaller, their cavalry attempted a flank to attack the rear directly, something very ambitious, which was rewarded by cannon fire, forcing them to disengage...as they were not suicidal that day. Nonetheless, the Nemets troops were Fighting people who just woke up, fresh from rest and also somewhat well fed, things that weren't the case for the opposing side.

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

They began breaking, and, in an effort to save the army from being crippled, they retreated, slowly moving their cannons backwards as they kept them as ready as possible to defend from a possible incoming cavalry pursuit. The Nemets force was valiant, but not equipped enough to face off a larger enemy, the pursuit was not continued, out of pure respect of the enemy force from the Poreidan general.

Casualties:
-Poreida
153 Cavalry (100% Wounded)
1,289 Infantry (20% Dead, 80% Wounded)
-Nemets
2,377 Infantry (15% Dead, 85% Wounded)

Stats:
-Poreida is happy about having defeated the enemies despite such a surprise, 5% of the troops prepare quicker.
-Nemets is disheartened by the loss, this contributed to them pulling out of the war, despite that, they fought valiantly, 5% of the troops gain more zeal.

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

POREIDA V KANINORD
The second Engagement Poreida found itself in wouldn't go as well, a troop sent to conduct a reconnaissance mission found itself head to head with a Kaninord force that outnumbered it by almost 2,000 soldiers. The Poreidan General, cautious and unwilling to bet his career on a single minor battle, decided only to engagé partially, firing shots with their mobile cannons while actively retreating back to the position they came from in order to relay informations. The real engagement broke off a little past the shared border, when the enemy cavalry caught up with the force and, in an effort to stop the army and force it to fight, charged right at the infantry corps, which were too slow to move out of the way. Setting up in squares was impossible due to the too little distance, but while the infantry was taking potshots at the enemy horses, the cavalry force of the Poreidan army charged straight into the enemy cavalry's line, starting a melee combat which couldn't be entered by either infantry corp, as one was too far away, and the other couldn't engage in fear of hitting their own friends. The melee lasted long, but in the end the Poreidan cavalry came out on top, though battered. This allowed the Poreidan army to retreat, so while both sides did well, it ended up being inconclusive

Casualties:
-Kaninord
531 Infantry (10% Dead, 90% Wounded)
998 Cavalry (45% Dead, 55% Wounded)
-Poreida
1,005 Cavalry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)

Stats:
Neither army feels as if this was a significant enough engagement to warrant morale loss or gain, though the Poreidans are thankful to the cavalry and are happy to have been saved to fight another day.

genoveffo_the_second07/02/24

URSA V Rosto
For the last battle of the day, it's the fight between the slavs and the URSA. This starts off in a little 8-September kind of way, the URSA general in fact was just contacted by the Nemets force saying they would not be engaging the Rosto troops, as Nemets had pulled out of the war. Something which prompted retaliation, as small skirmishes ensued between URSA and Nemets forces, though nothing major seeing only dozens of casualties at the height of the stand-off, this sees the Rosto troops Fighting only the URSA forces, while still being outnumbered, this is still better for them. The Rus forces were also allowed to rest and recuperate, alongside being very recently supplied, which made them rather eager to fight in contrast to the URSA army, force-marching up to Rosto after a bloody battle with the slaves in the South. Nonetheless, the URSA forces were bloodthirsty and they weren't about to give up that easily. The armies met in the middle of a forest, terrain which was advantageous to the Rus forces, but which completely negated the use of cavalry and artillery, thus having all forces dismount and start Fighting on foot. This engagement would see a larger casualty amount on the Side of the URSA, which kept Fighting bitterly and advancing to close the gap that was expertly utilized by Rus skirmishers to Mount even more casualties. In the centre of the formations, a bitter melee fight ensued which saw the Rus forces finally routing, followed by the skirmishers, which kept the URSA forces at bay. The amount of skirmishing, combined with raids on logistic trains and continuous resistance from the population rendered the URSA army unable to pursue the fleeing foes, giving Rosto one more chance to fight.

The Woraftia Front

The Woraftia front would end up in a complete massacre as the coalition armies started moving towars the Margravate to contend with the enemy troops, only to meet a smaller force in front of them. Eager to fight, they charged without thinking. After several volleys, the smaller Ziedrich force was beginning to be pushed back, when the army they were supposed to meet with appeared over the horizon, directly behind the Woraftian lines, with a cavalry charge, it was all over. The Woraftian troops broke completely, the general was captured and most of his sfaff killed, the army completely crippled and unable to regroup to continue operations due to a fierce pursuit of the combined cavalry forces of the Margravate. With the bloodthirsty troops inching towards the enemy capital, Woraftia decided to send envoys to surrender. It's the third coalition country that leaves the war.

Casualties:
-Ziedrich
4,005 Infantry (45% Dead, 55% Wounded)
1,893 Cavalry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
-Woraftia
8,305 Infantry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
3,103 Cavalry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
20 Cannons (All captured)
Stats:
Ziedrich is fucking balling, 5% of the infantry receives more resilience
Woraftia is crushed.

Nayltene Front

Some Tysk forces push, no engagements.

The Main Coalition force moves towards the capital, day by day with forced marches and no time to rest, eat, or sleep. The tired Kaninord troops are essentially Walking husks when the commander receives report of a Nayltene force moving quickly towards them to intercept. It's a force made mostly of cavalry, which doesn't fully engagé first. The infantry is sent before them, with the cannons, to distract them for enough time to launch a crippling attack. The Kaninord general, also tired from days without sleep, doesn't see this and moves his forces to attack the smaller infantry formation, being soon almost encircled. The Kaninord ranks break and the army is forced to retreat, thankfully avoiding pursuit due to well placed batteries on the hilltops, not allowing the Nayltene cavalry to follow them.

Casualties
-Naylte
2,571 Infantry (55% Dead, 45% Wounded)
3,450 Cavalry (25% Dead, 75% Wounded)
-Kaninord
5,755 Infantry (55% Dead, 45% Wounded)
7 Cannons (Captured)

Stats:
Nayltene is ecstatic, 5% of the cavalry is experienced in charges
Kaninord's morale is crushed, they're hoping to regroup with their other forces.

Slave front

The URSA troops are aggressively trying to fix their situation with the slave revolt, with the pockets continuously expanding, some moving towards the partially undefended capital. The two main URSA armies do a complete 180 to go and fight these lads, with both of them taking on several battles in the course of little, the troops find themselves in essentially a pool of blood. The slaves had the time to sort of consolidate, having limited training and having been sort of supplied with guns. The Fighting is bitter, with the armies having to contend for every single village, every mine, every plantation and sometimes even forests and fields due to Slave skirmishers splitting off to cause havoc. What they find most of the time is a lot of the population dead due to reprisal, something for which all slaves captured are killed. 'TIS WILD FR!! The economy is NOT going to be too pleased about this, feel like 1945 germany

Casualties:
-Slaves
11,903 (70% Dead, 30% Wounded)
-URSA
5,301 Infantry (40% Dead, 60% Wounded)
1,233 Cavalry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)

Stats:
Both sides are wary of casualties and eager to fight. 5% Slaves get experience in skirmishing and reconnaissance,5% URSA get experience in Urban warfare

On the other side, two Cervine armies managed to link up with slave pockets and helped them expand them, gaining 9,000 troops in the meantime, arming them, training them and getting 'em ready to fight. The URSA northern army has no more supplies.

Cervine Pass

Last on the list, and second spot on the list of most battles fought (first if u dont count the slaves), the Cervine Pass. The URSA army, which was up until now on the offensive, found itself retreating in their own land, trying to set up defences for which they weren't quite prepared for. Once the vastly superior enemy army approached, they were forced to fight in a half-prepared defensive line that in some areas only served as burial for the coalition forces. With the Nayltene forces, emboldened by their defensive victories, beginning a push that was supported on the flanks by Cervine troops, the engagement began. The Nayltene force alone wouldn't have won the fight, but the Cervine reinforcements, numbering no less than 11,000, managed to secure a foothold in villages around the URSA defensive line, allowing them to strike from the sides and essentially negate the Whole defensive position, forcing the URSA to retreat with considerable losses. Pursuit only managed to crush the URSA morale even more, even though it did little damage. A slave pocket managed to link up with their force, helping them transit through the lands and allowing them to directly threaten the URSA capital.

Casualties:
-Naylte
4,325 Infantry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
1,805 Cavalry (20% Dead, 80% Wounded)
-URSA
5,831 Infantry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
2,001 Cavalry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
5 Cannons (Captured)

Stats:
Nayltene troops are ecstatic of the victory, 5% of the Cervine soldiers gain experience in offensive warfare.
The URSA morale is crushed, they have been Fighting for long and have been taking many more casualties than their enemies, with an army now essentially encircled and the slaves expanding, there's little hope left. 5% of the cavalry gains experience in counter-pursuit

Closing phase!!
The war has finally come to an end, the URSA coalition collapsing from sheer war attrition and losses, the slave revolts have rampaged the countryside, the armies of the nayltene coalition have broken through everywhere,burning the capital of Worafia to ashes in an act that will be Forever covered in infamy, but the war is finally over...SO LET'S LOOK AT THE LAST BATTLES CUH!

TYSK V NAYLTE

The army of Tysk, numbering only about 20,000 novice troops, was not prepared to fight the much more experienced, battle ready army of the Nayltene forces that had already won two battles in the same area, squashing the URSA coalition forces like bugs. Outnumbered, Outwitted, and Outgunned, they were also attacked from two sides, which prompted an early retreat to salvage whatever was left. This resulted in the Tysk command panicking, making it withdraw from the war voluntarily in an attempt to secure better peace deals.

Casualties:
-Tysk
7,301 Infantry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
2,005 Cavalry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
25 Cannons (Captured)
-Naylte
5,153 Infantry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
1,532 Cavalry (25% Dead, 75% Wounded)

Stats:
That boy general might as well be the new napoleon cuz he ain't lost a single battle yet cuh! His troops would charge at a bridge without weapons if they were ordered to do so by this guy, all troops gain more zeal. Essentially most enemy banners were captured, and this absolute fucking madlad hanged them off the balcony of his own home.

URSA V SLAVES

As Always it's an aggressive invasion looking to kill a bunch of people, they manage to do it, the slaves are still not that good compared to their troops, but the URSA army takes enough casualties that it cannot counter what's about to happen (last move...suspense…)

Casualties:
-Slaves
5,781 (60% Dead, 40% Wounded)
-URSA
3,218 Infantry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)

Stats:
That URSA general wholly fucking regrets killing the small fish, it's like that meme of the soldier doing dumb shit with their sergeant behind them, unwise. It's joever.

genoveffo_the_second07/03/24

URSA V CERVINE STATES
The encircled boys were really no match for the force of three small armies (+ the slaves) coming towards them from multiple sides. The artillery wasn't enough to counter all of them, munitions were scarce, the wounded couldn't be quite tended to, food was somewhat fine but they had to resort to stealing to the population, thus making many of them very fucking angy. Anyways, the cervine troops were coordinated enough to launch semi-simultaneous Attacks, forcing the URSA troops to switch from position to position in order to not simply collapse under pressure, but collapse they did, the General, after being hit on the arm by shrapnel, surrendered.

Casualties:
-Cervine states
2,381 Infantry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
871 Cavalry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
-URSA
4,054 Infantry (30% Dead, 70% Wounded)
25 Cannons (Captured)
The rest of the army is prisoners.

Stats:
Cervines are absolutely balling, not much to be said, they're going to have fun releasing their pent up anger on the poor prisoners.

genoveffo_the_second07/03/24

URSA V NAYLTE
Lastly, the URSA forces on the backfoot attempt to Mount a last stand against Nayltene troops, trying to defend their capital, unaware of a little fact that will be unveiled later. The force had been just defeated, suffers from a numerical disadvantage and was caught by surprise due t othe sheer speed of the Nayltene forces, which have been marching non-stop in order to pursue. The defences, on a plain terrain, are almost useless as they keep getting suppressed and battered by the artillery. Once the Nayltene forces arrive in range, a couple of volleys are fired, which are immediately replied to before the Nayltene force charges. Bitter melee ensues, both sides knowing that this battle will dictate the faith of the war, and the Nayltene forces come out on top. The army retreats.

Casualties:
-Naylte
6,741 Infantry (40% Dead, 60% Wounded)
1,321 Cavalry (35% Dead, 65% Wounded)
-URSA
8,345 Infantry (45% Dead, 55% Wounded)
2,315 Cavlalry (40% Dead, 60% Wounded)

Stats:
You can just about fucking guess about how the Nayltenes feel, 1945 soviet union frfr. Same can't be said about the URSA, which feels like Germany. The battle is lost, the war too, the animal people can go back and be happy.

genoveffo_the_second07/03/24

Bet you didn't see this coming

Instead of the Nayltene forces marching into the capital, it's actually Astrostan. Yes, the nation that did fuck-all just marched their 120,000 men army (the biggest one fielded here) through the countryside, and as if that wasn't enough, they weren't even engaged! No force was able to meet up with the army, not that it would've made such a difference. With the capital captured, the URSA surrenders, and soon Kaninord gives up too, being almost entirely encircled. Woo!
